I've been in KL on last 26th - 27th, without any special purpose..(nothing special...???is it for real??) The truth is I just don't want to tell everybody with that special part..hehe. So, here is a few pics taken while we (me and my sis..) went for makan2..

Ribena blended special, with Lychee and Nata de Coco. This one at SS2 Murni restaurant.. SS2.

I think this is the best 'cooked' bihun sup I ever taste..

My sis opt for Mee Bandung..erm..dugaan..dah la bulan puasa ni.

And this one at Kedai Kopi, Taman Tasik Shah Alam..Nasi Goreng Kampung..

Our office 'kenduri'..the last one before 'puasa month' begins this coming monday. Everyone has their own contributions. I'm sponsoring some fruit salad..hehe;-) last minute program, so..this is the only thing I'm able to contribute. The gravy kuah laksa was prepared by our evergreen chef..Kak Zan (mother of 3..so I call it evergreen chef! They normally very talented in cooking!)

The laksa itself been prepared by none other than..again..senior chef (mother of 1..haha!)..Kak Shima. The 'green ingredients', (we call it 'accessories'..u know laa..the cili padi, daun laksa, daun gajus, cucumber, onions & etc.) was sponsored by lil' Husna. I think..the whole of this office are all 'hantu laksa'..or we can call it 'laksa mania'..hehe.

The pics is dedicated to my fellow friends..Andrea Chong..who might read this posting.

Back from 2 days leave..I felt so energize. Clearing half of backlogs and up till 5 o'clock, my spirit, my energy still at maximum level !! Hehe!! Wanted to stayback but I've already promised my mum to do some households shopping.

p/s: I can't tolerate with people doing 'cincai' job. There is no such words in me and I just can't understand why people can get used to live & work in 'cincai' way!

I'm not feeling very well since yesterday. Perhaps due to bad wheather or probably due to the stress itself. Early in the morning I woke up with migrain, back-ache and sore-throat. Wish I could take an MC..but it is always be the last thing I would opt to..:-)

That somebody had advise me to hand things over to someone I could trust. Maybe delegating some of my tasks at work, probably to another person that could use it as new experience and learning process. My problem is, I always worries that the outcome might not be as same 'quality' as mine. I'm worried, the task could not be done in correct work process, accurate and at the same speed I could do. Sometimes, I do feel..am I a perfectionist?

According to wikipedia, perfectionists may be workaholics who cannot relax; people who reproach themselves for days after the smallest error, such as a word out of place; the person so intent on finding the perfect mate that they never settle down; the procrastinator; the finicky person; and so on. Perfectionists tend to be exceptionally sensitive to criticism.Perfectionists often exhibit some or all of the following personality traits: emotional guardedness; a need for control; fear of making mistakes or errors; thrift; need to be above criticism; tendency to be stubborn or confrontational; and so on.I have all the criteria!!

So -- right now I think I should just be calm, have a quiet moments, and then decide what tasks and which roles to give to which people.

Relaxing..after tiring days at work. Me and my sis spent our saturday evening at Oldtown, New World Park. Weekend is the only time for us to get-together and have a "girls chat". After a cup of hazelnut white coffee and some noodles, later around 8, we left the city and heads to the famous Night Market in Batu Ferringhi.

With the same intentions like any other local visitors, we just try our luck to look for latest blockbuster DVD's. Unfortunately, we return with dissapointment. This is my 3rd time visit and its worth it even you have to walk in a very long strech.

A massive traffic jams begins from Gurney Drive junctions up to the Esplanade..due to this fireworks. I only managed to capture this..

Today is The birthday of the Yang Di Pertua Negeri P.Pinang. So, it's public holiday here. Boring duduk kat umah and do nothing, so, by lunch time me and dik na went for shopping at Carrefour. As usual, I'm the one who plans to shop and the one ended grabbing like almost everything she wants is my sis. Unfortunately, I'm the one who fork out the money. Dik na punya excuse, tak sempat withdraw cash from ATM. Co-incidence, there is 'Thai Fair', dik na dah start rambang mata bila tengok all those skirts with cheaper price.

Lunch hour shopping sometimes easier but most of the time, tension! Hassle free to shop during this hour but I cannot stand with bustling traffic. Especially when rainy days..like today. Dah la hujan..perut pun mula lah menyanyi. I discover that nowadays I hungry easily . I know why..bila rasa nak marah, makan. Lagi marah..lagi banyak makan. And it became habits.I was at Guardian. Looking for my personal toiletries and incidentally met one of my old friend there. We have a short chat and I proceed to my car. "The office" calls up and informed one of panel solicitor will come over and bring some 'lunch treat' for all staff. Waa..makan free again! Luckily I did not tapau anything..haha! See..makan again. Hopefully, by this way I would be able to put on weight!

Sundry shop nearby our office sells these lovely durian, fresh from the tauke farm in Balik Pulau. And guess what, we had our small durian party today. See the yellow flesh..so marvellous! RM 4.90 per kg and it's worth it.

I'm not sure what will happen tomorrow soon after my boss enter the office. One thing for sure, he could smell the new variant of air freshener in the whole office and sense that the 'durian fever' is back! Just wait for complaint list tomorrow..hehe!

I just can't think of something nice to say about someone. Beginning of the day I managed to say nothing instead of being critical. But it became more tough for me to verbalize -- and proven, it's not a good day to speak my mind. Dah berjaya mendiamkan one of my office mate. Rasa bersalah kerana tak puas hati tu dilepaskan to the wrong person. I'm just tired being responsible in everything for NOTHING.

Late in the evening, my former manager, Mr Wong, call me up. Just bertanya khabar and get some updates of the office. What I could say is "nothing much difference..i'm still me. I do all the works, without assistance. People come, people go..including you. And I'm still stuck in my own cubicle. "At least, he brings smile to my day. Mengenangkan dia yang friendly, a very concern person and generous..selalu belanja staff. After he left company, no more 'makan-makan', haha! Eventhough, ada sikit perangai 'ulat bulu' and sometimes too much talking which is annoying, I still respect him as my former manager. After a quite long conversation over the phone with him, I feel much better. And hopefully, tomorrow would be no more emotional issues arise. I will try my best to maintain positive thoughts, as much as I can.

Since I'm working with a power player right now, but guess what? She could say the same of me.It has been a very long time ago that I am aware that I have to step into that role with more confidence. But what happens yesterdays finally ruins my self-confidence. Unsure with my work position and unsure whether my performance has been well-accepted, well-appreciated by the top management. This 'silent competition' at work has made me feel uncomfortable.

Here I am today..still the one running around to get things work..but the promotions goes to others!

It's been so long..and I think it's time to look for another career advancement.

We had our small family gathering yesterday. Terasa kekurangan sikit sebab ada family member yang tak dapat turut serta. After a lot of rest kat rumah auntie Ita, late in the evening we decide to went for "makan-makan". Easiest and nearest spot is tomyam restaurant just in front of "Penang Snake Temple", Bayan Lepas. Change of ownership I guess..makanan dah tak sesedap dulu and a bit expensive compared with the one we used to visit at Batu Uban. But anyway..we had a fun-time together.

When everyone's laughing today, I don't find things so funny. Felt like I've been missing out on the joke. Maybe I'm just a bit out of synch with other people right now, mostly because I've been so wrapped up in my own plans. Not in a good mood for a few days already and It's going to take me a little bit more time to get back into the swing of things. But I do remember..my lil bro in office always remind me.."akak..personal problem don't bring to office. Everybody also got problem. But please come with a smile la at least..jangan hentak barang sana sini". Actually.. ni last time my colleague punye case. Ada masalah rumahtangga bawak ke ofis. Dengan muka masam and bebal sambil buat kerja. Mengenangkan kata-kata adik sorang ni..I kept everything inside. No one could understand kalau kita tunjuk muka tak manis sekalipun. Anyway, I'm always sweet..;-) haha.

Today, that bad feeling I've been having about someone have come to the end. Fade away. All of my worries were unfold. So long that I trusted my instincts, but they turned out to be wrong -- it is extremely rare, but it does happen. I'm in total relieved however, by learning the fact that my stress is finally ending! And in the future, I don't have to doubt myself anymore. I belive that things happen for a reason.

I've blurted 'the thing' out to that someone today. The things that I could not keep anymore, the feelings that burn my heart inside out. It hurts me much. Yet he couldn't even say a words, to apologize or anything that could get me all the comforts that I need. Lelaki jenis ape ni??Mana hilang gentleman? be friends?after all this? with all those sms?? how to accept that all this are "misunderstanding" issues? I might not be his type of girl, I guess. I'm not sorry for that, this is me.

And know what..this thing happen just soon after I received a news from my ex, he's getting married. Seeking for advise..telling me those 'hantaran'..'mas kahwin'..'kenduri'..family decision and bla bla..yet I'm still "a very kind girl", smile back at him, I'm offering myself to help him on his kenduri. It's twoooo bad...! Gosh...when will I find lil peace of mind.

"There are times it seems to meI'm sharing you in memoriesI feel it in my heartBut I don't show it, show itThen there's times you look at meAs though I'm all that you can seeThose times I don't believe it's rightI know it, know itDon't make me promisesBaby you never did know how to keep them wellI've had the rest of youNow I want the best of youIt's time to show and tell"

How I missed my late father very much. Even till now, I still kept a picture of him inside my purse. It's a sudden loss and it's a heavy impact for us to bear in our mind..he's gone. Semua kenangan abah masih segar dalam ingatan walaupun it's been 4 years dia tiada.
